This past week has been a very trying week for me and our family because what one of us goes through we all go through together. We are your normal family and have ups and downs like any other family, but with my extreme depression kicking in  when something goes wrong that wasn't expected takes a terrible toll on the entire family.

 

I tend to take every thing to heart and most things can break me down to feel as if I am nothing. That's why I took on this challenge of becoming fit and healthy. Being healthy will not only make my appearance better but helps me to deal with stress and lets me know that I am in control of something in my life and that no one else can take that away from me.

 

There are often days that I don't want to get out of bed, but rolling over and feeling sore is what helps to motivate me to get to WERK! So I have made a new promise to myself today that no matter what gets thrown in my way to build that bridge and get over it.

 

I have to say that my first month I became very discouraged but after stepping on that scale after a months hard work and seeing that I had lost so many pounds and then trying on those pants that I haven't fit into for years and I could actually pull them up and button them gave me a huge boost in confidence. Then it became an addiction, everywhere I went and everyone I talked to it was about fitness and my fiancé even got to the point to where he told me that I needed to go to school for physical training because it  had struck such a great interest to me.

 

So then I sit and wonder why I let such little things get in my way, I know what I want and what I have to do to achieve those GOALS ( I capitalized goals because I am no longer going to sit and wish I am going after what I want)  So here is to a new day tomorrow and a new beginning although I have started my fitness journey I am restarting it tomorrow and I am going to stay positive this time with no set backs.

 

Its ok to have set backs but NEVER let those set backs from letting you achieve what you want in life, whatever it may be!!!

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
